Konoha's West Gate Official

After chatting for a while, Ximen took Naruto out of school and returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Minato and his wife busy in the kitchen, with various dishes already placed on the table.

Today is not only Ximen's 20th birthday, but also the day when Naruto enters school. It's a double blessing, so it's natural to celebrate it properly.

"Here he comes, sit down quickly, he'll be ready soon!"

Seeing the two of them entering, Namikaze Minato smiled and said hello.

Seeing this, Ximen also went into the kitchen to help, while Naruto stared at the large table of delicious food, his eyes gleaming, and he almost shed tears.

After a while, the food was all ready, and the family sat around the table. Namikaze Minato, as the head of the family, was the first to speak: "Today is Ximen's twentieth birthday, and it is also the beginning of Naruto's journey as a ninja. It is worth celebrating!"

As they spoke, several people raised their glasses and took a sip of the wine to cheer them up. Of course, what was in Naruto's cup was juice, and children were not allowed to drink.

Putting down the cup, Kushina looked at Ximen and chuckled: "The family goes by so fast. In the blink of an eye, Ximen has become an adult. The way he looked when he was a child seems like yesterday."

Ximen smiled and said: "No one can stop the passage of time, people will always grow up. Maybe in the blink of an eye, Naruto will have a wife and children!"

Hearing this, a look of longing appeared on Minato's face, and he said to Kushina beside him: "If that day comes, I'm afraid we will all be in our forties.

When the time comes, I will pass on the position of Hokage to the young people, and our family will also enjoy a leisurely life. "

Kushina said: "Well, if Naruto has a child, what should it be called..."

The topic of chat unknowingly went astray, but no one tried to correct it. It was a rare relaxing time, and no one wanted to break the atmosphere. Junqu Pavilion

Even the very nervous Naruto only focused on doing his job and did not jump out to ruin the atmosphere.

And just as a few people were enjoying a warm moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Is the teacher here?"

Ximen came back to his senses, turned around and saw a handsome young man wearing a black ninja costume walking in, it was Itachi Uchiha.

Then he greeted: "It's Little Weasel, let's have a drink together!"

Itachi Uchiha stepped forward and said with a serious face: "Thank you, teacher, no need."

Seeing his expression, Ximen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Itachi nodded and said: "There are some things that I need to report to the teacher and the Hokage."

He knew this apprentice's temperament very well. If there were no important issues, he would not bother him at this time. Then he said to Minato and the others: "You guys eat first, I'll talk to Little Weasel."

"How about I come too."

Minato said as he stood up.

Ximen smiled and said: "No need, just stay here with Naruto, I will solve anything if it happens."

Minato nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything more. Now that even he couldn't see through the strength of his younger brother, he thought there wouldn't be any problems...

Ximen and Uchiha Itachi both came to the yard and asked, "What happened?"

Itachi replied: "It's nothing for the time being, but I have a feeling that the family seems to be planning something detrimental to the village during this time. If it is not stopped in time, there may be big problems."

Hearing this, Ximen's expression changed. He had already guessed what the disadvantage in the other party's words was. It was nothing more than seizing power.

Originally, he thought that with Minato in power, Uchiha would not do anything outrageous, but now it seems that he still underestimated the ambitions of some people.

At this time, Itachi Uchiha said: "Although Lord Hokage has brought the relationship between the village and the family a lot closer after taking office, there are still some people in the older generation who are not satisfied with this status quo and want to get closer."

Ximen's expression changed and he said, "Why do you tell me this? You are also an Uchiha."

After hearing the question, Itachi replied: "You once said that no matter which family is part of Konoha, there should be no narrow concept of small families. Although my surname is Uchiha, I am a member of the village. I know What should I do?"

Ximen nodded and said: "Very good, then how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered slightly and he whispered: "I will try my best to adjust the dissatisfaction in the family. If it doesn't work, I can only..."

As he spoke, a chill flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ximen raised his hand and knocked the other person on the head, shouting softly: "What are you thinking about? Don't be so extreme!"

Itachi sighed softly: "I don't want to either, but if that time comes..."

Ximen said: "As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't want to betray the village, everything else is easy to say. The easiest way is to clean up internally and get rid of all the dishonest guys."

Although there was something wrong with the Uchiha family, he still didn't have to uproot it. After all, as the largest clan in Konoha, it is a powerful force. If it is lost like this, it will be a waste of internal resources, which is the next best option.

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi said: "I have thought about this too, but most of those people have a lot of weight in the clan, so it may not be easy to accomplish this."

"Since it is difficult to proactively implement internal cleaning, we can only rely on external forces."

Ximen said seriously.

"Teacher, do you mean to borrow the knife?"

Itachi instantly understood the former's intention.

Ximen said: "This is not a glorious thing anyway. It's better if we don't take action directly. Who do you think is more suitable to do some dirty things in the village?"

"You mean, root..."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered slightly, realizing the key point.

Ximen smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Itachi already understood what the other party meant, and then said: "Then I will take time to talk."

Ximen waved his hand: "No, that old guy can't keep his temper. Uchiha won't cause trouble for the time being. Let's just wait and wait. As long as Minato doesn't let go, he will definitely come to us."

Itachi also understood it at first, and immediately responded: "I understand, teacher."

Ximen smiled. An interesting plan gradually emerged in his mind. If he could kill two birds with one stone, why not do it...

A few days passed by, and Konoha was still as peaceful as usual, and the undercurrent of Uchiha seemed inconspicuous in the peaceful environment.

Ximen was sitting in the room reading a book, and at this moment, a familiar figure pushed in the door, it was Naruto who had just finished school.

I saw him running quickly to the former's side, and said anxiously: "Second uncle, you have to help me..."
